“I teach identity leadership, based on the philosophy that you can’t lead anybody else until you lead yourself. Once you understand who you are, you can really focus on becoming the expert in your field.”

“If you fail in your leadership, then blame yourself. God has nothing to do with you leading other souls under your own feet.”

“You can take pride in yourself without comparing yourself to anybody else. If you run your race and be the best that you can be, then you can feel good about yourself.”

“Try to see yourself with power. Not power so that you can get even with anybody else. Power so that you can become even with your vision- Maya Angelo”

“You can lead a horse to Harvard but you can’t make him think.”

“… you don't realize whether or not you completely understand a topic until you are tasked to explain it to someone else. … That really challenges your understanding of a topic.”

“You got to be right with yourself before you can be right with anybody else.”

“You can manage what you do not understand, but you cannot lead it.”

“You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.”

“You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.”
